Dr. Smith is a powerful gift that ignites hope and perseverance in the hearts of those she pours into. A few months ago the Jack and Jill of America Inc. Arlington Chapter asked her to be a breakout session facilitator for a wine tasting experience we put on as a fundraiser. She was phenomenal! Every woman who participated came away raving about how she encouraged them so much! She is anointed and God has used her to change the lives of those who find themselves downtrodden and lacking vision. Thanks Dr. Smith for being a light in our lives!

After being clinically diagnosed with severe depression. I found myself feeling isolated, and in a deep dark place. I didn’t feel like anyone would understand what I was dealing with or what I was going through. I’m a Christian, and I didn’t feel like I was supposed to feel how I felt. I wasn’t suppose to have the thoughts of hopelessness, and frustration. I happened to reach out to a relative who offered me some support from you guys. I sat and talked about how I was feeling. They were able to help me pinpoint some triggers that I have that lead me to those sad thoughts of despair. I can now say I’m working towards a new me. I’m learning to love myself again. So when I start feeling lonely and helpless. I just stop take a moment to breath and for ever negative thought. I’m able to relax and think of 2 happy thoughts. The journey back to a normal life isn’t an easy one, but it’s definitely a worthwhile task to get back to a healthy life mentally. Thanks CreepingVinesOnline, for your ongoing efforts to help others battling with mental illness.

CreepingVinesOnline has provided me a new awareness and outlook on Mental Health. I have learned there is power in communicating and expressing different mental illness to embody mental wellness. CVO has empowered me to share and relate to others who have battled with depression at any point in life. I now understand the dynamic of not shaming myself or feeling like an less adequate believer if feel depressed. Thanks to CVO I can now say I take care of my mind, body, and soul with real meaning and intentionality.
